How to Make Vegan Banana Brownies

Preheat

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. 

Prep the Wet Ingredients

Peel, then mash bananas using a pastry cutter (I highly recommend this) or a fork (which will drive you crazy lol) in a large bowl. Add the rest of the wet ingredients: coconut oil, maple syrup, flax egg and vanilla. Whisk everything together until well mixed. 

Sift the Dry Ingredients

Sift the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl: oat flour, cacao powder, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Combine

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk it all together until well incorporated. Fold in vegan chocolate chips. 

Pour Batter

Pour your vegan banana brownie batter into the prepared pan. Smooth into an even layer and top with chocolate chips. 

Bake, Cool and Enjoy

Bake for about 35 minutes. Cool banana brownies until completely cool for clean slicing. Slice and enjoy the best vegan banana brownies ever!

      Hi Jennifer! I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve had other readers use avocado oil or canola oil in my other brownie recipes with good results, while others have used vegan butter. If you try it with a different oil, let me know how it turns out! 🙂

      Delicious! Moist! Chocolate-y goodness! (I subbed avocado oil instead of coconut oil.) I am not vegan but love these brownies!
